The SACK is an SCTP level ack. So you only know that the SCTP stack of the peer has received it,
so you don't know if the application has received it or even processed it. So if you want some
sort of ack, you need an application level ack. This was done in the 3 way handshake stuff which
was in the older version.

In this version, the sender sends an DATA_CHANNEL_OPEN as the first message and the receiver has
to buffer user messages until the DATA_CHANNEL_OPEN message has been received in case of reordering
in the network and using unordered delivery for user messages.

In this case, what does the SCTP association m-line contain: the unchanged list of data channels contained in the initial offer (which created the SCTP association), or the list of data channels currently opened, or .. ?
